Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again -- POTO
Castle on a Cloud -- Les Miz
Not a Whole Song, but the one line reprise from MOTN to end the show -- "It's over now, the Music of the Night." -- POTO
Phantom Faces at the Window -- Les Miz
The one about innocents going off to war (to the tune of "Lovely Ladies") -- Les Miz
Anatevka Reprise when everyone is leaving the town -- Fiddler on the Roof
Edelweiss -- Sound of Music (because everyone in retrospect knows what the Anschluss started)
If/Then -- almost everything towards the end of the married with children timeline, from "I Hate You" on.

Note: It's the heartbreak in the middle of Les Miz that makes it so hard for me to watch, including "On My Own," which others have mentioned.

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

Be on your own - Nine

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Where in the World- The Secret Garden
Sirens (Reprise) + Farewell Good Angel- Jane Eyre
Just Another Love Story- Passion
Pretty Lies- The Count of Monte Cristo
Lisa Carew- Jekyll and Hyde
Anything out of Sydney Carton's mouth in a Tale of Two Cities
Gentil + Why- Beauty and the Beast (Not the Disney version)

I prefer ensembles/duets, and nostalgia may be what I am searching for more so than heartbreak, I was tempted to include songs like the Johanna reprise from Sweeney Todd and the Epilogue from Les Mis. I adore many of the songs already named as well, but am trying to find new things to bring up.

Cabaret can be staged as a response to heartbreak, but the song itself is not about heartbreak.
